Top 30 Best Selling Vehicles In America October 2014

2015 Subaru Outback
The Ford F-Series was Americas best-selling vehicle in October 2014, although the Fords main rivals - full-size truck twins from General Motors - outsold the F-Series lineup for a third consecutive month.

Overall new vehicle sales grew 6% in the United States last month as vehicles like the Chevrolet Silverado, Ram P/U, Toyota Camry, and Honda CR-V threw up big increases to overcome smaller losses from vehicles like the F-Series and Ford Focus, and bigger decreases from the Hyundai Sonata and Honda Civic.

Compared with October of last year, new entries in this Octobers list of the 30 best-selling include the Jeep Cherokee, Nissan Sentra, Subaru Outback, and Toyota Highlander. They knocked out the Kia Optima, Dodge Grand Caravan, Chevrolet Impala, and Chevrolet Malibu. 

Compared with last months edition of this list, September best sellers that are no longer here include the Nissan Versa and Chrysler Town & Country, vehicles which were replaced by the Highlander and Outback.

Weve already published October lists for the 20 best-selling cars, 20 best-selling SUVs and crossovers, and complete figures for every pickup truck, links to which youll find below. Throwing all those vehicles into one group results in this list of the 30 best-selling vehicles overall. We end up with five pickup trucks, 14 cars, and 11 utility vehicles.

Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these top-selling vehicles can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBCs Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well.

Top 30 Best Selling Vehicles In America February 2015

2015 Subaru Outback
In February 2015, for the first time since August, the Ram P/U wasnt one of Americas three best-selling vehicles.

Toyota Camry volume jumped 14% from 28,998 in February 2015 - when the Ram was 305-unit more successful - while Ram volume improved by just 7%. 

That Ram increase was better than the industry average but not as healthy as the improvement in the overall pickup truck market, nor the full-size pickup truck market.

Neither was Ford 1% F-Series decrease in keeping with the health of the overall industry. Until we see improved inventory for the all-new 2015 F-150, its difficult to judge the F-Series 2015 start.

Compared with February of last year, the Jeep Wrangler, Honda Pilot, Nissan Versa, and Subaru Outback are all new entries. They stepped in to fill voids left by the Ford Edge, Kia Optima, Volkswagen Jetta, and Chevrolet Impala.

Weve already published February 2015 lists for the 20 best-selling cars, 20 best-selling SUVs and crossovers, and complete figures for every pickup truck, links to which youll find above. Throwing all those vehicles into one group results in this list of the 30 best-selling vehicles overall. We end up with five pickup trucks, 15 cars, and ten utility vehicles.

Top 15 Best Selling Luxury Vehicles In Canada November 2014

2016 Audi Q7
As usual, the BMW 3-Series was the best-selling premium brand automobile in Canada in November 2014. The Lexus RX led all premium brand SUVs and crossovers and outsold the Audi Q5 by a large enough extent that the RX now leads on year-to-date terms, as well.

Audi Q5 sales fell 25% to 515 units as Audi Canada generated a large percentage of their sales with the Q3. Combined, the Q5 and its new little sibling were up 28%. As of November, the RX was not yet challenged by its forthcoming little sibling, the NX.

RX volume jumped 8% in November 2014, an improvement of 51 units. Other utility vehicles with notable November increases included the Mercedes-Benz GLK (up 52%), Mercedes-Benz M-Class (up 21%), BMW X3 (up 30%), Land Rover Range Rover Sport (up 29%), and the Audi Q7 (up 67%). 

The Q7 has been around since 2006 in in first-gen form. Audi released images of the new Q7 last week, but its important to note that as Audi prepares that second-gen Q7, the current model is enjoying its best Canadian sales ever. With one month remaining, the Q7 has already broken its one-year-old Canadian sales record of 1781 units. Canadian Q7 volume has improved five consecutive years.

* A4 sales include sales of the unreported Allroad.
^ Mercedes-Benz Canadas figures combine the E-Class with the CLS and the S-Class with the CL.
$50,000 CDN (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, but if GCBC was to follow this new system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, $50K seemed like a safe place to begin - it equals the average U.S. new car transaction price plus $15,000, plus another $5000 to account for Canadian increases. Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $50,000 - M, RS, and AMG models come to mind, specifically - but in the case of this list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced at $35,900, as would be the case with the BMW 320i, which costs less than a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0T Limited. The biggest problem with a $50,000 minimum price of entry? Vehicles like the $49,990 Acura MDX and $49,299 Ford Expedition.
The new Cadillac CTS sedans base price is above $50,000, but not the base price for other cars in the CTS lineup. Yet. Total CTS sales in November: 72. Lexus recently bumped the RXs base price to $50,600.
